6.1 Pin Descriptions
AVIN AND PVIN AVIN and PVIN are the input supply pins for the LP2998. AVIN is used to supply all the internal control circuitry. PVIN,
however, is used exclusively to provide the rail voltage for the output stage used to create VTT. These pins have the
capability to work off separate supplies depending on the application. Higher voltages on PVIN will increase the
maximum continuous output current because of output RDSON limitations at voltages close to VTT. The disadvantage
of high values of PVIN is that the internal power loss will also increase, thermally limiting the design. For SSTL-2
applications, a good compromise would be to connect the AVIN and PVIN directly together at 2.5 V. This eliminates the
need for bypassing the two supply pins separately. The only limitation on input voltage selection is that PVIN must be
equal to or lower than AVIN. It is recommended to connect PVIN to voltage rails equal to or less than 3.3 V to prevent
the thermal limit from tripping because of excessive internal power dissipation. If the junction temperature exceeds the
thermal shutdown than the part will enter a shutdown state identical to the manual shutdown where VTT is tri-stated and
VREF remains active.
VDDQ VDDQ is the input used to create the internal reference voltage for regulating VTT. The reference voltage is generated
from a resistor divider of two internal 50 kresistors. This ensures that VTT will track VDDQ / 2 precisely. The optimal
implementation of VDDQ is as a remote sense. This can be achieved by connecting VDDQ directly to the 2.5 V rail at
the DIMM instead of AVIN and PVIN. This ensures that the reference voltage tracks the DDR memory rails precisely
without a large voltage drop from the power lines. For SSTL-2 applications VDDQ will be a 2.5 V signal, which will
create a 1.25 V termination voltage at VTT (See Electrical Characteristics Table for exact values of VTT over
temperature).

Pin Descriptions (continued)
The purpose of the sense pin is to provide improved remote load regulation. In most motherboard applications the
VSENSE termination resistors will connect to VTT in a long plane. If the output voltage was regulated only at the output of the
LP2998 then the long trace will cause a significant IR drop resulting in a termination voltage lower at one end of the bus
than the other. The VSENSE pin can be used to improve this performance, by connecting it to the middle of the bus. This
will provide a better distribution across the entire termination bus. If remote load regulation is not used then the VSENSE
pin must still be connected to VTT. Care should be taken when a long VSENSE trace is implemented in close proximity to
the memory. Noise pickup in the VSENSE trace can cause problems with precise regulation of VTT. A small 0.1 uF
ceramic capacitor placed next to the VSENSE pin can help filter any high frequency signals and preventing errors.
SHUTDOWN The LP2998 contains an active low shutdown pin that can be used to tri-state VTT. During shutdown VTT should not be
exposed to voltages that exceed AVIN. With the shutdown pin asserted low the quiescent current of the LP2998 will
drop, however, VDDQ will always maintain its constant impedance of 100 kfor generating the internal reference.
Therefore, to calculate the total power loss in shutdown both currents need to be considered. For more information refer
to the Thermal Dissipation section. The shutdown pin also has an internal pull-up current, therefore to turn the part on
the shutdown pin can either be connected to AVIN or left open.
VREF VREF provides the buffered output of the internal reference voltage VDDQ / 2. This output should be used to provide the
reference voltage for the Northbridge chipset and memory. Since these inputs are typically an extremely high
impedance, there should be little current drawn from VREF. For improved performance, an output bypass capacitor can
be used, located close to the pin, to help with noise. A ceramic capacitor in the range of 0.1 µF to 0.01 µF is
recommended. This output remains active during the shutdown state and thermal shutdown events for the suspend to
RAM functionality.
VTT VTT is the regulated output that is used to terminate the bus resistors. It is capable of sinking and sourcing current while
regulating the output precisely to VDDQ / 2. The LP2998 is designed to handle peak transient currents of up to ± 3 A
with a fast transient response. The maximum continuous current is a function of VIN and can be viewed in the Typical
Characteristics section. If a transient is expected to last above the maximum continuous current rating for a significant
amount of time then the output capacitor should be sized large enough to prevent an excessive voltage drop. Despite
the fact that the LP2998 is designed to handle large transient output currents it is not capable of handling these for long
durations, under all conditions. The reason for this is the standard packages are not able to thermally dissipate the heat
as a result of the internal power loss. If large currents are required for longer durations, then care should be taken to
ensure that the maximum junction temperature is not exceeded. Proper thermal derating should always be used (please
refer to the Thermal Dissipation section). If the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown point than VTT will
tri-state until the part returns below the hysteretic trip-point.

and transient peaks up to 3 A in the application as required for DDR-SDRAM termination.
8.2 Functional Block Diagram
8.3 Feature Description
The LP2998 is a linear bus termination regulator designed to meet the JEDEC requirements of SSTL-2 and
SSTL-18. The output, VTT is capable of sinking and sourcing current while regulating the output voltage equal to
VDDQ / 2. The output stage has been designed to maintain excellent load regulation while preventing shoot
through. The LP2998 also incorporates two distinct power rails that separates the analog circuitry from the power
output stage. This allows a split rail approach to be utilized to decrease internal power dissipation. It also permits
the LP2998 to provide a termination solution for DDR3-SDRAM and DDR3L-SDRAM memory.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
The LP2998 can also be used to provide a termination voltage for other logic schemes such as SSTL-3 or HSTL.
Series Stub Termination Logic (SSTL) was created to improve signal integrity of the data transmission across the
memory bus. This termination scheme is essential to prevent data error from signal reflections while transmitting
at high frequencies encountered with DDR-SDRAM. The most common form of termination is Class II single
parallel termination. This involves one RSseries resistor from the chipset to the memory and one RTtermination
resistor. Typical values for RSand RTare 25 Ω, although these can be changed to scale the current
requirements from the LP2998. This implementation can be seen below in Figure 16.

9 Application and Implementation
9.1 Application Information
9.1.1 Input Capacitor
The LP2998 does not require a capacitor for input stability, but it is recommended for improved performance
during large load transients to prevent the input rail from dropping. The input capacitor should be located as
close as possible to the PVIN pin. Several recommendations exist dependent on the application required. A
typical value recommended for AL electrolytic capacitors is 50 µF. Ceramic capacitors can also be used, a value
in the range of 10 µF with X5R or better would be an ideal choice. The input capacitance can be reduced if the
LP2998 is placed close to the bulk capacitance from the output of the 2.5 V DC-DC converter. If the two supply
rails (AVIN and PVIN) are separated then the 47 uF capacitor should be placed as close to possible to the PVIN
rail. An additional 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor can be placed on the AVIN rail to prevent excessive noise from
coupling into the device.
9.1.2 Output Capacitor
The LP2998 has been designed to be insensitive of output capacitor size or ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance).
This allows the flexibility to use any capacitor desired. The choice for output capacitor will be determined solely
on the application and the requirements for load transient response of VTT. As a general recommendation the
output capacitor should be sized above 100 µF with a low ESR for SSTL applications with DDR-SDRAM. The
value of ESR should be determined by the maximum current spikes expected and the extent at which the output
voltage is allowed to droop. Several capacitor options are available on the market and a few of these are
highlighted below:
AL - It should be noted that many aluminum electrolytics only specify impedance at a frequency of 120 Hz, which
indicates they have poor high frequency performance. Only aluminum electrolytics that have an impedance
specified at a higher frequency (between 20 kHz and 100 kHz) should be used for the LP2998. To improve the
ESR several AL electrolytics can be combined in parallel for an overall reduction. An important note to be aware
of is the extent at which the ESR will change over temperature. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors can have their
ESR rapidly increase at cold temperatures.
Ceramic - Ceramic capacitors typically have a low capacitance, in the range of 10 to 100 µF range, but they have
excellent AC performance for bypassing noise because of very low ESR (typically less than 10 m). However,
some dielectric types do not have good capacitance characteristics as a function of voltage and temperature.
Because of the typically low value of capacitance it is recommended to use ceramic capacitors in parallel with
another capacitor such as an aluminum electrolytic. A dielectric of X5R or better is recommended for all ceramic
capacitors.
Hybrid - Several hybrid capacitors such as OS-CON and SP are available from several manufacturers. These
offer a large capacitance while maintaining a low ESR. These are the best solution when size and performance
are critical, although their cost is typically higher than any other capacitor.
9.1.3 Thermal Dissipation
Since the LP2998 is a linear regulator any current flow from VTT will result in internal power dissipation
generating heat. To prevent damaging the part from exceeding the maximum allowable junction temperature,
care should be taken to derate the part dependent on the maximum expected ambient temperature and power
dissipation. The maximum allowable internal temperature rise (TRmax) can be calculated given the maximum
ambient temperature (TAmax) of the application and the maximum allowable junction temperature (TJmax).
TRmax = TJmax TAmax (1)
From this equation, the maximum power dissipation (PDmax) of the part can be calculated:
PDmax = TRmax / RθJA (2)
The RθJA of the LP2998 will be dependent on several variables: the package used; the thickness of copper; the
number of vias and the airflow.

Application Information (continued)
Figure 17. RθJA vs Airflow (SOIC-8)
Additional improvements can be made by the judicious use of vias to connect the part and dissipate heat to an
internal ground plane. Using larger traces and more copper on the top side of the board can also help. With
careful layout it is possible to reduce the RθJA further than the nominal values shown in Figure 17.
Layout is also extremely critical to maximize the output current with the SO PowerPAD package. By simply
placing vias under the DAP the θJA can be lowered significantly.
Additional improvements in lowering the RθJA can also be achieved with a constant airflow across the package.
Maintaining the same conditions as above and utilizing the 2x2 via array, Figure 18 shows how the RθJA varies
with airflow.
Figure 18. RΘJA vs Airflow Speed (Jedec Board with 4 Vias)
Optimizing the R θJA and placing the LP2998 in a section of a board exposed to lower ambient temperature
allows the part to operate with higher power dissipation. The internal power dissipation can be calculated by
summing the three main sources of loss: output current at VTT, either sinking or sourcing, and quiescent current
at AVIN and VDDQ. During the active state (when shutdown is not held low) the total internal power dissipation
can be calculated from the following equations:
PD= PAVIN + PVDDQ + PVTT (3)
PAVIN = IAVIN * VAVIN (4)
PVDDQ = VVDDQ * IVDDQ = VVDDQ2 x RVDDQ (5)
To calculate the maximum power dissipation at VTT both conditions at VTT need to be examined, sinking, and
sourcing current. Although only one equation will add into the total, VTT cannot source and sink current
simultaneously.

The power dissipation of the LP2998 can also be calculated during the shutdown state. During this condition the
output VTT will tri-state, therefore that term in the power equation will disappear as it cannot sink or source any
current (leakage is negligible). The only losses during shutdown will be the reduced quiescent current at AVIN
and the constant impedance that is seen at the VDDQ pin.

9.2 Typical Application
Several different application circuits are shown below to illustrate some of the options that are possible in
configuring the LP2998. Graphs of the individual circuit performance can be found in the Typical Characteristics
section. These curves illustrate how the maximum output current is affected by changes in AVIN and PVIN.
Figure 19. Typical Application Circuit
9.2.1 DDR-III Applications
With the separate VDDQ pin and an internal resistor divider it is possible to use the LP2998 in applications
utilizing DDR-III memory. The output stage is connected to the 1.5 V rail and the AVIN pin can be connected to a
2.2 V to 5.5 V rail.
Figure 20. Recommended DDR-III Termination
If it is not desirable to use the 1.5 V - 2.5 V rail it is possible to connect the output stage to a 3.3 V rail. Care
should be taken to not exceed the maximum junction temperature as the thermal dissipation increases with lower
VTT output voltages. For this reason it is not recommended to power PVIN off a rail higher than the nominal 3.3
V. The advantage of this configuration is that it has the ability to source and sink a higher maximum continuous
current.

9.2.2 DDR-II Applications
With the separate VDDQ pin and an internal resistor divider it is possible to use the LP2998 in applications
utilizing DDR-II memory. Figure 21 and Figure 22 show several implementations of recommended circuits with
output curves displayed in the Typical Characteristics.Figure 21 shows the recommended circuit configuration
for DDR-II applications. The output stage is connected to the 1.8 V rail and the AVIN pin can be connected to
either a 3.3 V or 5 V rail.
Figure 21. Recommended DDR-II Termination
If it is not desirable to use the 1.8 V rail it is possible to connect the output stage to a 3.3 V rail. Care should be
taken to not exceed the maximum junction temperature as the thermal dissipation increases with lower VTT
output voltages. For this reason it is not recommended to power PVIN off a rail higher than the nominal 3.3 V.
The advantage of this configuration is that it has the ability to source and sink a higher maximum continuous
current.
Figure 22. DDR-II Termination with Higher Voltage Rails
9.2.3 SSTL-2 Applications
For the majority of applications that implement the SSTL-2 termination scheme it is recommended to connect all
the input rails to the 2.5 V rail. This provides an optimal trade-off between power dissipation and component
count and selection. An example of this circuit can be seen in Figure 23.

Figure 23. Recommended SSTL-2 Implementation
If power dissipation or efficiency is a major concern then the LP2998 has the ability to operate on split power
rails. The output stage (PVIN) can be operated on a lower rail such as 1.8 V and the analog circuitry (AVIN) can
be connected to a higher rail such as 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V. This allows the internal power dissipation to be
lowered when sourcing current from VTT. The disadvantage of this circuit is that the maximum continuous current
is reduced because of the lower rail voltage, although it is adequate for all motherboard SSTL-2 applications.
Increasing the output capacitance can also help if periods of large load transients will be encountered.
Figure 24. Lower Power Dissipation SSTL-2 Implementation
The third option for SSTL-2 applications in the situation that a 1.8 V rail is not available and it is not desirable to
use 2.5 V, is to connect the LP2998 power rail to 3.3 V. In this situation AVIN will be limited to operation on the
3.3 V or 5 V rail as PVIN can never exceed AVIN. This configuration has the ability to provide the maximum
continuous output current at the downside of higher thermal dissipation. Care should be taken to prevent the
LP2998 from experiencing large current levels which cause the junction temperature to exceed the maximum.
Because of this risk it is not recommended to supply the output stage with a voltage higher than a nominal 3.3 V
rail.

9.2.4 Level Shifting
If standards other than SSTL-2 are required, such as SSTL-3, it may be necessary to use a different scaling
factor than 0.5 times VDDQ for regulating the output voltage. Several options are available to scale the output to
any voltage required. One method is to level shift the output by using feedback resistors from VTT to the VSENSE
pin. This has been illustrated in Figure 26 and Figure 27.Figure 26 shows how to use two resistors to level shift
VTT above the internal reference voltage of VDDQ/2. To calculate the exact voltage at VTT the following equation
can be used.
VTT = VDDQ/2 ( 1 + R1/R2) (11)
Figure 26. Increasing VTT by Level Shifting
Conversely, the R2 resistor can be placed between VSENSE and VDDQ to shift the VTT output lower than the
internal reference voltage of VDDQ/2. The equations relating VTT and the resistors can be seen below:
VTT = VDDQ/2 (1 - R1/R2) (12)

Typical Application (continued)
This circuit permits termination in a minimum amount of board space and component count. Capacitor selection
can be varied depending on the number of lines terminated and the maximum load transient. However, with
motherboards and other applications where VTT is distributed across a long plane it is advisable to use multiple
bulk capacitors and addition to high frequency decoupling. Figure 29 shown below depicts an example circuit
where 2 bulk output capacitors could be situated at both ends of the VTT plane for optimal placement. Large
aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used for their low ESR and low cost.
Figure 29. Typical SSTL-2 Application Circuit for Motherboards
In most PC applications an extensive amount of decoupling is required because of the long interconnects
encountered with the DDR-SDRAM DIMMs mounted on modules. As a result bulk aluminum electrolytic
capacitors in the range of 1000 µF are typically used.
9.2.5 HSTL Applications
The LP2998 can be easily adapted for HSTL applications by connecting VDDQ to the 1.5 V rail. This will produce
a VTT and VREF voltage of approximately 0.75 V for the termination resistors. AVIN and PVIN should be
connected to a 2.5 V rail for optimal performance.
Figure 30. HSTL Application
9.2.6 QDR Applications
Quad data rate (QDR) applications utilize multiple channels for improved memory performance. However, this
increase in bus lines has the effect of increasing the current levels required for termination. The recommended
approach in terminating multiple channels is to use a dedicated LP2998 for each channel. This simplifies layout
and reduces the internal power dissipation for each regulator. Separate VREF signals can be used for each DIMM
bank from the corresponding regulator with the chipset reference provided by a local resistor divider or one of the
LP2998 signals. Because VREF and VTT are expected to track and the part to part variations are minor, there
should be little difference between the reference signals of each LP2998.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
There are several recommendations for the LP2998 input power supply. An input capacitor is not required but is
recommended for improved performance during large load transients to prevent the input rail from dropping. The
input capacitor should be located as close as possible to the PVIN pin. Several recommendations exist
dependent on the application required. A typical value recommended for AL electrolytic capacitors is 50 µF.
Ceramic capacitors can also be used, a value in the range of 10 µF with X5R or better would be an ideal choice.
The input capacitance can be reduced if the LP2998 is placed close to the bulk capacitance from the output of
the 2.5 V DC-DC converter. If the two supply rails (AVIN and PVIN) are separated then the 47 uF capacitor
should be placed as close to possible to the PVIN rail. An additional 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor can be placed on
the AVIN rail to prevent excessive noise from coupling into the device.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
1. The input capacitor for the power rail should be placed as close as possible to the PVIN pin.
2. VSENSE should be connected to the VTT termination bus at the point where regulation is required. For
motherboard applications an ideal location would be at the center of the termination bus.
3. VDDQ can be connected remotely to the VDDQ rail input at either the DIMM or the Chipset. This provides the
most accurate point for creating the reference voltage.
4. For improved thermal performance excessive top side copper should be used to dissipate heat from the
package. Numerous vias from the ground connection to the internal ground plane will help. Additionally these
can be located underneath the package if manufacturing standards permit.
5. Care should be taken when routing the VSENSE trace to avoid noise pickup from switching I/O signals. A 0.1
µF ceramic capacitor located close to the SENSE can also be used to filter any unwanted high frequency
signal. This can be an issue especially if long SENSE traces are used.
6. VREF should be bypassed with a 0.01 µF or 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor for improved performance. This
capacitor should be located as close as possible to the VREF pin.

Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) reserves the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its
semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest issue. Buyers
should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete.
TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated
circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and
services.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is
accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduced
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements
different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
